Embodiment
Please refer to the 2nd figure, the 2nd figure is cathode fluorescent tube of the present invention (Cold Cathode FlorescentLamp, the schematic diagram of driver 200 CCFL).The driver 200 of cathode fluorescent tube comprises integrated circuit (IC) driver 201 and waveform generator 250, and wherein the framework of IC driver 201 and operation principles are similar in appearance to habitual IC driver 101.Waveform generator 250 is electrically connected at the CT end of IC driver 201, is used for producing control signal S.IC driver 201 can produce the drive signal of fluorescent tube module 141 or fluorescent tube module 141 be closed (shut down) according to the magnitude of voltage of CT end.For instance, when the magnitude of voltage of CT end during greater than first threshold, IC driver 201 is opened first switches 111 and is also closed second switch 112; When the magnitude of voltage of CT end during less than second threshold value, IC driver 201 is closed first switch 111 and is opened second switch 112; When the magnitude of voltage of CT end during less than the 3rd threshold value, IC driver 201 is closed first switch 111 and second switch 112; In the present embodiment, first threshold is that 2/3rds, second threshold value of the magnitude of voltage of supply voltage VCC is that the 1/3rd, the 3rd threshold value of the magnitude of voltage of supply voltage VCC is the sixth of the magnitude of voltage of supply voltage VCC.Therefore, the magnitude of voltage that waveform generator 250 is held according to CT produces the control signal DIM with first level, second level and the 3rd level and is input to the CT end, to replace the circuit that is electrically connected at RT end and CT end in the habitual circuit by resistance, electric capacity and switch, wherein first level is greater than first threshold, second level is less than second threshold value, and the 3rd level is less than the 3rd threshold value.So, IC driver 201 carries out brightness adjustment control according to the received control signal DIM of CT end to fluorescent tube module 141.
Please also refer to the 2nd figure and the 3rd figure, the 3rd figure is the oscillogram of control signal DIM of the present invention.Waveform generator 250 produces control signal DIM according to switching signal SD, so that fluorescent tube module 141 is carried out brilliance control.Waveform generator 250 comprises square wave generation unit 251, direct voltage generation unit 252 and output unit 253.Square wave generation unit 251 is used for producing the square wave W with the first level V1 and second level V2.Direct voltage generation unit 252 is used for producing the direct voltage D with the 3rd level V3.The magnitude of voltage of the first level V1, the second level V2 and the 3rd level V3 can be done suitable variation according to user's demand.In present embodiment and since when the magnitude of voltage of CT end greater than the magnitude of voltage of supply voltage VCC 2/3rds the time, IC driver 201 unlatchings first switches 111 also cut out second switch 112; When the magnitude of voltage of CT end less than 1/3rd of the magnitude of voltage of supply voltage VCC, IC driver 201 is closed first switch 111 and is opened second switch 112; When the magnitude of voltage of CT end during less than the sixth of the magnitude of voltage of supply voltage VCC, IC driver 201 is closed first switch 111 and second switch 112, therefore, the first level V1 is greater than 2/3rds of the magnitude of voltage of supply voltage VCC, the second level V2 is less than the 1/3rd, the 3rd level V3 of the magnitude of voltage of the supply voltage VCC sixth less than the magnitude of voltage of supply voltage VCC.Output unit 253 according to switching signal SD output square wave W and direct voltage D to produce control signal DIM.More particularly, output unit 253 is at the first period t1 output square wave W and the second period t2 output dc voltage D of one-period time T.
When control signal DIM is when having the square wave W of the first level V1 and the second level V2, IC driver 201 drives fluorescent tube modules 141, the first switches 111 and will open and close along with the frequency complementary ground of square wave W with second switch 112.When control signal DIM is that IC driver 201 is closed fluorescent tube module 141 when having the direct voltage D of the 3rd level V3.Shown in the 3rd figure, control signal DIM is the square wave W with the first level V1 and second level V2 at the first period t1 of T cycle time, and control signal DIM cycle time T the second period t2 be the direct voltage D of the 3rd level; That is IC driver 201 fluorescent tube driver module 141 in the first period t1 of T cycle time, and in the second period t2 of T cycle time, fluorescent tube module 141 is closed.In the present embodiment, T cycle time of control signal DIM is 5ms (that is the frequency of control signal DIM is 200Hz), and the frequency of square wave W is 50kHz.In addition, in the cycle time of control signal DIM T, the time that the square wave W of control signal DIM is continued (the first period t1) has determined the brightness that fluorescent tube module 141 is produced with the time (the second period t2) that direct voltage D is continued, and the length of the first period t1 and the second period t2 is determined by switching signal SD.Therefore, the control signal DIM that produces by waveform generator 250 can reach the purpose of fluorescent tube module 141 light modulations.
Please refer to the 4th figure, the 4th figure is the schematic diagram of the control signal of three kinds of different brightness.CCFL driver 200 can drive fluorescent tube module 141 according to control signal DIMa, DIMb, DIMc respectively, and makes fluorescent tube module 141 produce three kinds of different brightness.In control signal DIMa, DIMb, DIMc, the first period t1 is the time that square wave W is continued, and the second period t2 is the time that direct voltage D is continued.When the first period t1 of control signal DIMa and the ratio of the second period t2 are 1: 3, fluorescent tube module 141 can produce the light of first brightness value.Since fluorescent tube module 141 at the first period t1 for opening, and at the second period t2 for closing, that is fluorescent tube module 141 time of closing three times during for unlatching are so the light of first brightness value is about complete 25% when bright of fluorescent tube module 141.When the ratio of the first period t1 of control signal DIMb and the second period t2 was 1: 1, fluorescent tube module 141 can produce the light of second brightness value.Because fluorescent tube module 141 time of closing is equal to the time that fluorescent tube module 141 is opened, so the light of second brightness value is about complete 50% when bright of fluorescent tube module 141.When the ratio of the first period t1 of control signal DIMc and the second period t2 was 3: 1, fluorescent tube module 141 can produce the light of the 3rd brightness value.Because the time that fluorescent tube module 141 is opened is three times when closing, so the light of the 3rd brightness value is about complete 75% when bright of fluorescent tube module 141.Therefore, can make fluorescent tube module 141 produce the light of different brightness values by the first period t1 that adjusts control signal DIM with the ratio of the second period t2.
